No longer displays chat while in VR + Twitch API Changes about openvrtwitchchat HOT 11 CLOSED

If you are having issues with overlays across the board, this is likely a SteamVR issue.

OVRdrop is designed to copy a window into VR, so it doesn’t connect to any chat — most people using OVRdrop for this are using Twitch’s popout chat and cloning that. As for displaying in VR, overlays are actually drawn by SteamVR. Which headset are you using?

from openvrtwitchchat.

HTC Vive

I have tried Twitch Chat popout window.

It does show on OVRDrop screen, just never In VR (World, Screen or controller)

Could you attach the output_log.txt from inside the OVRdrop_Data folder?

Could you also post screenshots of the OVRdrop window with the Additional Settings menu open?

SteamVR 1.10.32

Thanks! Unfortunately nothing immediately stands out as being an issue.

Can you see any overlays in VR? Can you see the SteamVR dashboard overlays? Can you see SteamVR's notifications?

The fact you seem to have an issue with both OVRTC and OVRdrop makes me think SteamVR itself is failing to composite overlays. A setting may have been turned off, or a file or configuration may have become corrupted in SteamVR. Googling around I found one person who couldn't get any overlays working until they completely reinstalled Steam itself, which may point to a configuration file.

It was working before a SteamVR update.

Will test other Steam related overlays and if that fail i shall go down route of reinstalling Steam and SteamVR.

From what i have seen SteamVR is not as easy to rollback to previous version.

Will post results in due course.

Reinstalled Steam and SteamVR
Can see steam chat messages popup and friends playing games.
Normal SteamVR overlays/menus are working as expected.

OVRDrop and OVRTC still fail to display
Im still fixed on possibility of SteamVR Update causing breaking changes.

after reinstall of steam and steamvr. From ovrdrop

OVRdrop is still working for me on 1.10.32 and unfortunately that log only contains informational output and no actual errors. It normally would contain actual errors, but none seem to be being thrown by OVRdrop. I would guess this is a SteamVR issue on your PC, and there’s nothing directly I can do to fix it.
